My Great Strides Story

Erica Iwaszkiewicz

As many of you know my beautiful niece Karsyn Richer has Cystic Fibrosis.  Your donations kept Karsyn healthy, out of the ICU and with the best lung function she has had since she was 7!  She has been taking Trikafta for the past fiver years and is doing amazing on it which is entirely due to your donations. I am super excited that Karsyn can continue living a normal teen life.  This year she got her drivers license, a summer job, continues to be active in the drama department and is excelling academically at school! We need to continue to fight to find a cure so Karsyn and all those impacted by CF can continue to enjoy these monumental milestones many of us take for granted!   We need your continued support!!!!


CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.  

Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
